Yes...
A thread search should show where they've been recently discussed.
Kinda like a tire or an oil thread... opinions vary.'82 XJ1100J Maxim (has been sold.)

I replaced the front tire on my Maxim a couple of months ago and picked up a rythmic vibration. Installed the magic bean reptile oil beads and there was no perceptable difference. Removed the little critters with a shop vac and took the reinstalled tire and rim to a local shop, they balanced the assembly in about four minutes for $5 and the problem went away.
They said it only took a 1/4oz weight to cure the problem so it wasn't all that bad but the beads would not handle it or even make a change that my highly trained engineering type body (which may need a tuneup) could detect.The Old Tamer

If there are more than three bolts holding it on there, it is most likely a very important part!Comment

I have used the beads in my truck tires ( 44" SuperSwampers ) that are biased ply. that much rubber is hard to balance. works well at speeds over 25 mph...between 15 and 25 it bounces you like a superball in a coffee can falling down a mountain... but then it smoothes out like a bikini models a$$ above 25. about 3 pounds in each tire.'81H (my first XS ) "Grey Ghost"
